The objective of the 3-day workshop is to establish a framework on the assessment parameters for the siting study of new gas, coal and large scale solar PV power plants. The workshop was attended by representatives from MESTECC, Ministry of Water, Land and Natural Resources (KATS), ST, SEDA, Department of Town and Country Planning Malaysia (DTCP), Department of Environment (DoE), Grid Owner and Grid System Operator (GSO). The study is initiated to mitigate issues related to land acquisitions for power plant locations as well as the associated right-of-way (ROW) for the transmission lines.
